WELLSBURG — Brooke Hills Playhouse will close the doors on its 54th season later this month.

The final production will be the comedic romp “Always A Bridesmaid,” set to be presented Aug. 22-24 and Aug. 29-31.

Written by Playhouse favorites Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten, this “deliriously funny comedy” is the rollicking tale of four loyal and determined women who definitively answer the question, “Just how far are you willing to go to keep a promise to a friend?”

Four friends have sworn to keep the promise they made on the night of their senior prom. Their promise? To be in each other’s weddings … no matter what.

More than 30 years later, the four Southern friends-for-life are still making “the long walk” for each other, determined to honor that vow.

Libby Ruth, the hopeful romantic with the perfect marriage, believes her friends can find the same happiness. Headstrong Deedra’s “rock-solid” union hangs by a thread when she discovers her husband not only has a wandering eye, but the hands to match. Monette — flashy, high-spirited and selfinvolved — continues to test her friends’ love and patience with all-too-frequent trips down the aisle.

And salt-of-the-earth, tree-hugging Charlie discovers marital bliss is not the end of her rainbow and panics in outrageous style when the opportunity presents itself.

If you’ve ever elbowed a stranger out of the way to catch a bride’s bouquet, seriously questioned the mental stability of the duo saying “I do,” or been forced to wear the world’s ugliest bridesmaid dress, this Jones Hope Wooten comedy is for you … and your dearly beloved.

Director Bill Deerfield of Weirton has assembled a cast to navigate the choppy waters of love and matrimony.

“I am happy and grateful to be working with such a fun, creative and talented cast,” Deerfield said. “The show is well written, and these actresses make it come alive.”

Odessa Hores of Wheeling has been cast as Kari Ames-Bissette. Keri Everhart of Weirton will play Sedalia Ellicott. Emily Hores of Wellsburg takes on the role of Monette Gentry. Teresa Torlone of Charleroi, Pa, plays the part of Charlie Collins. Heather Deerfield of Weirton will portray Libby Ruth Ames. Sheila Cavalette of Weirton will play the part of Deedra Wingate.

Municipal Mutual Insurance Co. and Chambers and James Funeral Homes are season sponsors. Showtimes will be 8 p.m. Aug. 22-23 and Aug. 29-30; and 2 p.m. Aug. 24 and Aug. 31.
